Nature Recovery Starts on Your Doorstep!

We are really keen to support activities to boost the local nature environment at every level, from the district or county scale, right down to a homeowners garden - or even windowsill!

We think a nature recovery plan at a parish scale will be an excellent tool to see real difference emerge in all our communities, with action that everyone can get behind and support, and often at very little cost.

Parish Nature Recovery Plan

If you are a Parish Council (or local community group or business), why don't you establish a Local Nature Recovery action plan for your area or premises? For a host of tips on how to do this, please visit Natural Cambridgeshire's Local Nature Recovery Toolkit. 

For an easy way to get you started, a downloadable template local nature recovery action plan is now available, making it even easier for you to prepare your own nature recovery plan. If you would like a Word version of the template, please contact prideofplace@eastcambs.gov.uk.

If you do prepare a locally based nature recovery plan using our template, please share it with us! We'd be delighted to put it on this webpage, so people can learn and share best practice!
